Vegetable cutlets are delicious and crispy snacks made with a mix of vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a blend of spices. Here's a recipe to make veg cutlets:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, corn), boiled and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green chilies
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- Salt to taste
- Oil for shallow frying
For the coating:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 2 tablespoons water
- Bread crumbs for coating
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chopped vegetables, onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, bread crumbs, and salt. Mix well to form a uniform mixture.
- Divide the mixture into equal-sized portions and shape them into round or oval cutlets.
- In a small bowl, make a batter by combining all-purpose flour (maida) and water. The consistency should be thick yet pourable.
- Dip each cutlet into the batter, ensuring it is coated evenly on all sides.
- Roll the cutlet in bread crumbs, pressing gently so that the bread crumbs adhere to the surface.
- Place the coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the cutlets hold their shape while frying.
- Heat oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Fry the cutlets until they turn golden brown and crispy on one side, then flip and fry the other side.
- Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining cutlets.
- Serve the veg cutlets hot with ketchup or mint chutney.
Veg cutlets make for a delightful snack or appetizer, and they can be enjoyed on their own or in a burger bun as a veggie burger patty. They are also a great option for parties or as a tea-time treat. Enjoy the crispy and flavorful veg cutlets!
